Sergio Ramos: Scored the only goal as Real Madrid beat Getafe to stay seven points clear of Barcelona


Real Madrid remain seven points clear at the top of La Liga after Jose Mourinho's side beat Getafe and Barcelona clinched a narrow win over Real Sociedad.

Champions Barcelona are still giving chase at the top after securing a 2-1 success over Sociedad at Camp Nou.

The fight for fourth spot continues apace after current holders of that position - Levante - were held to a 1-1 draw at home by struggling Racing Santander.

Athletic Bilbao and Espanyol are currently sixth and fifth respectively and the Champions League hopefuls played out a 3-3 draw at San Mames.

Real Mallorca put some distance between themselves and the relegation places after a 1-0 home win over Real Betis in cold conditions, the game produced three red cards.




Marcelino (above) sacked by Sevilla

Primera Liga underperformers Sevilla have taken the decision to part with coach Marcelino Garcia Toral following a disappointing run of results.

Marcelino was only appointed in the summer of 2011, succeeding Gregorio Manzano - such is the demands on a coach in this league

A statement released on the club's official website on Monday read: "Sevilla have taken the decision this morning to dismiss the first team coach Marcelino Garcia Toral owing to the negative run of results by the team, with seven matches without a victory, during which time only two points have been won.

"The decision was taken after the president, Jose Maria del Nido, and sporting director Ramon Rodriguez Monchi met with the coach to evaluate the sporting situation. Soon after the meeting Monchi communicated to the coach the decision taken.

"Sevilla want to publicly thank Marcelino for his professionalism and work, and regret having to have taken a drastic decision due to the results."

Round Up 13 Febrero 2012






Barcelona's title dreams suffered what could prove to be a fatal blow as they suffered a 3-2 defeat away to Osasuna, while Real Betis snatched victory against Athletic Bilbao.


Leaders Real Madrid can now move 10 points clear at the summit if they triumph against Levante on Sunday evening as Pep Guardiola was left to rue leaving Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Cesc Fabregas on the bench ahead of Tuesday's UEFA Champions League trip to Bayer Leverkusen.

Barcelona found themselves 2-0 down in the space of 22 minutes as Dejan Lekic bagged a brace and even though Alexis Sanchez reduced the deficit early in the second period, Raul Garcia immediately responded for the home side.

Cristian Tello brought Barca back into the contest in the 73rd minute, but they could not find an equaliser, with Lionel Messi seeing a goal ruled out for offside and Fabregas sending a late header straight at goalkeeper Andres.


Atletico Madrid passed up a host of good opportunities as Racing Santander clung on to claim a Primera Division point at El Sardinero.


Real Betis snatched a last-gasp winner against 10-man Athletic Bilbao as Nelson drilled home from the edge of the box in added time to claim three vital points for the relegation battlers.

La Liga Round Up - 27 Febrero 2012




Ruben Suarez


Real Madrid kept their winning ways with a Cristiano Ronaldo's brilliant backheel against Vallecano - while Barcelona won to remain 10 points adrift.


Levante climbed to fourth in La Liga after claiming a 2-1 win at Espanyol.

But in added time, Levante's own sub Suarez was the hero as his free-kick deflected into the corner of the net.


Top-four seeking Malaga came from behind to hammer bottom-of-the-table Real Zaragoza 5-1, and move fifth in the table.


Real Betis and Getafe remain clear of relegation trouble after playing out a 1-1 draw in Seville.

Betis had taken the lead just after the interval through Jorge Molina, but a Dorda own goal just moments later meant Getafe took a share of the spoils.


At the bottom, Racing Santander and Sporting Gijon remain in the bottom-three after they drew 1-1.
